Fieldbus interface
Communication interface between fieldbus and gateway: interfaces for standardized fieldbus systems in industrial automation. Bihl+Wiedemann offers a wide range of gateways for common fieldbus interfaces:
| EtherNet/IP |
Number of ASi networks, number of ASi Master
Standard devices"Single Master": 1 ASi network, 1 ASi-5/ASi-3 Master. 1 ASi network, 1 ASi-3 Master. 2 ASi networks, 2 ASi-5/ASi-3 Masters. 2 ASi networks, 2 ASi-3 Masters. Safety devices "Single Master" : 1 ASi network, 1 ASi-5/ASi-3 Master. 1 ASi network, 1 ASi-3 Master. 2 ASi networks, 2 ASi-5/ASi-3 Masters. 2 ASi networks, 2 ASi-3 Masters. | 1 ASi network, 1 ASi-5/ASi-3 Master |
Diagnostic and configuration interface
Access to ASi master and safety monitor via own software from Bihl+Wiedemann using the diagnostic interface (e.g. USB, RJ45, RS232). For certain devices with Ethernet-based fieldbus (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP), there is also the option of diagnostics and configuration directly via the fieldbus interface.
The latest version of the device description file of the gateway/gateway with integrated safety monitor (GSD, GSDML, EDS, etc.) is available in the "Downloads" section of the respective device. | Ethernet fieldbus |
Recognition of duplicate ASi addresses
Detects whether the same address has been assigned to two ASi nodes. Frequent error when using a handheld addressing device. | yes |
ASi fault detector
Checks the ASi line for interference effects such as noise, external voltages, ... | yes |
Programming in C
Using a C-program offers the possibility to run mini-PLC functions with a gateway. | optional |
